And Allahu ta’ālā has created you, when you were nothing, then He takes you [in death], when your terms [of life] are concluded; and there are some among you who are relegated to the most abject stage of life, that is, the most diminished, because of old-age and senility, so that he knows nothing after [having possessed] some knowledge. 'Ikrima said, 'Whoever recites the Qur'ān will not come to such a predicament'. Allahu ta’ālā is Knowing, of how to manage [the affairs of] His creation, Powerful, in [doing] what He wishes.
